Title: GPR/GPS surveys and analysis of a firn core from the Gawn Ice Piedmont Glacier to examine Holocene climate history

Description:

Abstract:

To understand the drivers and consequences of climate change on timescales important to humans, the paleoclimate of ice cores,
the glacial system and local climate patterns were analysed from the Gawn Ice Piedmont Glacier. A GPR/GPS (8, 35, 200 and
500MHz) survey was carried out to provide an image of the internal layering of the glacier and the topography of the ice-rock
interface beneath. A 13m firn core was recovered and analysed for oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios, major cations, anions
and methylsulfonates, trace elements and cations, dust concentration and mineralogy.

The IGS global system of satellite tracking stations, Data Centers, and Analysis Centers puts high-quality GPS data and data
products on line in near real time to meet the objectives of a wide range of scientific and engineering applications and studies.
